GOP Trounces Democrats in Midterm Elections

The midterm election season came and went with a dry spell and as a result was less fruitful, as regressive seeds were sown in favor of the Republican party who took complete control over the Senate and kept power of the House. 

It was a total tide saturation by the GOP, who sought out to conquer and control the rest of President Obama's presidential term. 

But what happened? Did the Republican voter ID suppression laws work? Did the Republican redistricting maps work in their favor? Or was it low voter turnout on behalf of the Democrats? What?!

Many predicted that democratic votes would be low due to statistical facts, and it would seem that yesterday history indeed repeated itself. But with such important issues on the table such as the minimum wage, the Affordable Care Act, immigration reform, climate change, tax reform and the economy -- why would anyone choose to "sleep" during such an important election? 

I'm beginning to understand why Democrats become Independents; when one gets so disgusted with showing Blue pride against it's Red opponent -- only to not be backed up by fellow Democrats who become complacent and literally fall asleep at the wheel as if life is great. 

America is for the rich...period. Capitalism (or as rapper Method Man would say C.R.E.A.M.; Cash Rules Everything Around Me) is what runs this country and the people in it. If you're rich than you can play the game of monopoly and if you aren't -- if you're poor or apart of the middle class...basically you're owned. You don't control your livelihood as much as you think you do -- as you'll always have a hierarchy dictating to you where you'll live, how much you'll make in wages, whether you'll have access to affordable health care, and whether or not your children will have a bright future.

If Democrats/liberals are okay with this prospect than fine, as for me, international residency is starting to look pretty damn good.
